University Foundation

Visitors

The Southeast Missouri University Foundation has announced a $40 million comprehensive campaign, the most ambitious fund-raising effort in the University’s history, to directly support current and future students.

The campaign, named “Honoring Tradition, Inspiring Success,” is focused on increasing scholarships and supporting programs and renovations that benefit students.

Revolving Loan Fund

Intermediary Relending Program (IRP)

The purpose of the IRP program is to alleviate poverty and increase economic activity
and employment in rural communities. Under the IRP program, loans are provided to
local organizations (intermediaries) for the establishment of revolving loan funds.
These revolving loan funds are used to assist with financing business and economic
development activity to create or retain jobs in disadvantaged and remote communities.
Intermediaries are encouraged to work in concert with State and regional strategies,
and in partnership with other public and private organizations that can provide complimentary
resources.

What types of projects are eligible?

IRP funding may be used for a number of purposes but to be eligible, ultimate recipients
must be located in a rural area. Under the IRP, a rural area is any area that is not
inside a city with a population of 25,000 or more according to the latest decennial
census. Some examples of eligible projects are:

The acquisition, construction, conversion, enlargement, or repair of a business or
business facility, particularly when jobs will be created or retained.

The purchase or development of land (easements, rights of way, buildings, facilities,
leases, materials)
